In 1980 Cavallo made his record debut with the concept album Siamo meridionali, which received large critical acclaim.[1][2][3] Also active as a songwriter for other artists, his collaborations include Mia Martini, Zucchero Fornaciari, Ornella Vanoni, Gianni Morandi, Loredana Bertè and Fiorella Mannoia.[1][2][3] He also composed "Ma che storia è questa", the theme song of the RAI television program La storia d'Italia a fumetti by Enzo Biagi.[1][2]
